Green Chili Chicken Casserole

Green Chili Chicken Casserole is fun twist on the classic enchilada casserole using yummy green enchilada sauce. This is an easy to prepare ahead casserole one pan dinner that the whole family is going to love.

There is something about a good casserole that takes me right back to my childhood. It might be all those church potluck dinners we went to where there was always a wide array of casseroles to choose from!

One of the beauties of a good casserole is the whole meal is in one pan. This green chili chicken casserole has layers of corn tortillas, chicken cheese and enchilada sauce. I added in some black olives because they are my favorite and topped it with green onions for a little color. Sometimes casseroles are not the prettiest I must admit!

A casserole feeds a crowd! Made in a 9 x 13 pan there is usually enough to feed the family and a few leftovers for the next day. The best part about a casserole? How easy it is to make it ahead, stick it in the refrigerator or freezer and bake when you are ready to eat!

The love the flavor the sweeter green chili enchilada sauce gives this dish but if you prefer you can always use regular red enchilada sauce too. I used Monterey Jack Cheese but cheddar or a Mexican blend works well too. Serve it with a green salad and or some fresh fruit and you’ve got a complete meal the whole family is going to love.

Instructions

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and add half of chicken mixture. Place a layer of tortillas over the top and sprinkle with half the cheese, black olives and green onions. (save a few green onions for garnish)

Repeat process.

Bake for 40 minutes covered, remove cover and bake for another 10 minutes to allow cheese to bubble and brown. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
